I have the OWLCS managed server running on a linux server, all apps including persistence are up and running.
I went through the configuration steps in section 5 of the Oracle WebLogic Communication Services Installation Guide - 11g Release 1 (11.1.1) (except for the ThirdPartyCall mbean step because the ThirdPartyCall.xml file does not exist for some reason)

I successfully created a user using sash - the user can be seen in the console.
Oracle Communicator is installed on a Windows PC that can ping the OWLCS host.
I have tried various settings in the OC network tab, as recommended by the OWLCS install doc and other threads on this forum, but none make any difference.

When I login to the Communicator it doesn't connect - it just says 'connecting to <server-name>' in the top right all of the time.
Any ideas?
Thanks

- Is OWLCS listening on the SIP port for connections? netstat -a | grep 5060
- From your client machine, can you open a socket connection to port 5060 or your server? telnet <server-host> 5060
If the server is listening on port 5060 and you are unable to connect, you might have a firewall between your server and client
- Has your client been configured correctly?
- In preferences dialog, make sure:
- Use a proxy server is checked
- Proxy server is configured to be your server running OWLCS
- XDMS host is set to be the hostname of the server running OWLCS
- XDMS port is the listen port of the managed server (8001 by default)

- From your client machine, can you open a socket connection to port 5063 or your server? telnet <server-host> 5063
If the server is listening on port 5063 and you are unable to connect, you might have a firewall between your server and client

Hi,
I changed the sipchannel port for 10.0.11.69 back to 5060 to see if that would help, but it hasn't made a difference it still fails to publish the presence. But I don't have to specify a non-standard port in the proxy preferences any more.

It's not able to resolve "cedarhr.com". I think you've missed an important configuration step.

Please take a look at sections 5.1.1 and 5.1.2 of the OWLCS Installation Guide. Since you are using a realm which is different from the fully qualified hostname of the server, you need to add "cedarhr.com" to the hosts file of your server, pointing to the IP address of the server OWLCS is running on.
